Red Hat Linux Certification Program (Newbies)

HTML clipboardThe Red Hat Certification Program is Red Hat's professional certification program for Red Hat and general Linux related skills such as system administration on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat certifications are indisputably regarded as the best in Linux, and perhaps, according to some, in all of IT. The tests are hands-on and involve troubleshooting, installation, and system administration.

There are no multiple-choice questions, and everything is done on a live system. Often there is more than one way to configure a service or troubleshoot a problem, and the exam focuses on the end results, not the process that was taken to achieve that result. The most common and well-known Red Hat certification is the Red Hat Certified Engineer.

About Red Hat Certifications

1. Red Hat
Certified Technician (RHCT) The entry-level RHCT certification focuses on single-system administration. RHCT is the best first step in establishing Linux credentials and is an ideal initial certification for those transitioning from non-UNIX®/ Linux environments.

2. Red Hat Certified
Engineer (RHCE) program expands the RHCT with a focus on services and security. RHCE is called the crown jewel of Linux certifications, independent surveys have ranked the RHCE program #1 in all of IT.

3. Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA) requires an additional five endorsements to the RHCE that adds an enterprise-level focus. From clustering to deploying systems, these five exams ensure the student can deploy systems at the Enterprise level. Red Hat offers a four-day class for each course that can
include the exam on the fifth day.

4. Red Hat Certified Security Specialist (RHCSS). This certification includes two endorsement exams from the RHCA plus an SELinux exam. It has been offered since 2005-10-13.

Choosing the right certification depends on your background and goals. Whether you have advanced, minimal, or no UNIX or Linux experience whatsoever, Red Hat Training has a training and certification path that is right for you.

Benefits of becoming Red Hat Certified
* Confidence and competence: RHCEs report greater confidence in their skills and better success at building and managing Linux servers. The actual quality of their work and their professionalism improve. They are better at performing their jobs for their employers, can take on more challenging assignments, and they receive recognition for this.

* Career results: RHCEs interviewed also report one or more of the following

within 90 days of earning the RHCE certificate: a new job, a raise, a promotion, increased responsibility, assignment to lead or supervisory role, increased recognition and/or prestige among colleagues.

* Benefits provided directly by Red Hat: Verification services for all certificate holders are provided at Certification Central. RHCEs have exclusive access to RHCE Connection, a special site for RHCEs to receive special offers, discounts and benefits, as well as technical updates and access to resources. Certain other discretionary benefits of certification, such as partner programs between Red Hat and the company at which you may be employed, may require you to maintain certification on the most recent major release or otherwise on a more frequent basis than Red Hat GLS stated policy for individuals.

* Hard dollars: RHCE earn more because of their RHCE, as shown by two recent independent surveys: Computer Reseller News, and Certification Magazine.

What would happen if I wore my red sox hat to a yankees game?

I'm a 13 year old girl, and a Mets fan living in the tri-state area.
I went to Boston a couple years ago and bought a hat to wear to the game.
During the 2007 season I went to a yankees game and wanted to wear my red sox hat (they weren't playing the red sox.)
My dad wouldn't let me, he feared bad things would happen. lol.
What do you think would have actually happened?

Most likley the worst that would happen would be some hecklers. They might start a chant like "you suck". But that would probably be it. Just dont wear that hat into the bleachers it is auful out there.
